Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a photographic processor comprising a negative film supply section for conveying and supplying a negative film and an exposure section for printing a image frame of the negative film conveyed and supplied from the negative film supply section onto a printing paper.
  • this invention relates to the technology for positioning the negative film in the photographic processor.
  • a notch punched on the negative film has been used for positioning the image frame of the negative film in a film reading device to scan each image frame for obtaining a corrected exposure condition and in an exposure device to expose the printing paper to light through each image frame.
  • this notch is punched in the vicinity of each image frame by a notch punching device such as is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 184036/1991.
  • the negative film should be positioned by another method.
  • an image frame with an unclear configuration can be positioned by using a picture with a clear configuration, taking it as a reference point and then feeding the negative film a predetermined amount from that clear image. This method works when there is such an image frame nearby that is clear enough to be used for positioning by the picture detecting sensor.
  • the image frame with an unclear configuration is a certain distance away from that image frame with a clear configuration, it is difficult to stop the negative film accurately at its expected position due to the margin of error in the amount the negative film is fed.
  • US-A-4 611 907 discloses a film frame position judging method in which film densities are detected by a plurality of sensors disposed such as to be orthogonal to the direction in which a developed film is conveyed. After having judged the film frame position a notch is formed on the film for every frame that is to be printed.
  • US-A-4 987 440 discloses a method of positioning image areas of an exposed and developed strip of photosensitive material. After having positioned the image a half moon-shaped cutout is punched out of the longitudinal margin of the strip at a position corresponding to the image.
  • a photographic process that allows any image frame whose configuration cannot be detected by a picture detecting sensor to be smoothly positioned at any position without consuming excessive time.
  • the present invention provides a photographic processor comprising a negative film supply section for supplying and conveying a negative film and a exposure section for printing an image frame of the negative film supplied and conveyed from the negative film supply section.
  • the photographic processor includes a picture detecting sensor for judging a condition of an image frame on the negative film.
  • the picture detecting sensor is installed in the negative film supply section and a mark forming means is installed also for providing a visual positioning mark to the image frame when the image frame is judged by the picture detecting sensor to be improper for positioning at said exposure section, and wherein said mark forming means forms the visual positioning mark at an appropriate location on the negative film in accordance with an instruction from an operator inspecting the frame on the negative film.
  • an operator gives a positioning mark visually by using the mark forming means for an image frame which is detected to be improper for positioning by the picture detecting sensor in the negative film supply section
  • the image frame determined to be improper can be positioned by using this positioning mark in the following portions of the processor, including the exposure section. Since the positioning mark is only given to the image frame which is judged to be improper for positioning and the other image frames are positioned by the picture detecting sensor, the difficult work to provide positioning marks to all of the image frames is not required.
  • the present invention enables the negative film to be positioned automatically and continuously by installing both a picture detecting sensor and a marking sensor in the portions where positioning of the image frame is necessary, for example, in the exposure section.
  • loop forming portions for the negative film are disposed both upstream and downstream of the mark forming means in the negative film conveying direction.
  • the flexible effect of the loop forming portions disposed both upstream and the downstream of the mark forming means prevents movement of the negative film near the mark forming means from influencing the other processing portions beyond each loop forming portion. This provides a remarkable advantage when the negative film is a long strip composed of a number of connected shorter pieces of negative film.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided with a TV camera for taking photos of the operation so the operator car give the image frame a positioning mark by the use of the mark forming means. Therefore an operator can control this operatior to provide the positioning mark while confirming this using the photos transmitted from the TV camera and displayed on a monitor Consequently, the operator can give the positioning mark while looking at the monitor and confirming the position of the image frame without leaving his normal working desk area.
  • the mark punched by the mark forming means can be a mark, an aperture, a notch etc., made, for example, by typing printer.
  • a mark punched by a notcher which is used to give a parting mark to the printing paper is convenient because it can be commonly used to control design and parts replacement.
  • the mark forming means is provided with a notcher for punching a notch on the side edge of the negative film and this notcher can be operated through an operation panel installed on the photographic processor. Further, if the mark forming means is equipped with a suction nozzle for sucking the chips produced by the notcher, the notch chips are prevented from attaching themselves to the negative film and having an adverse influence on the exposure processing.
  • the negative film supplied and conveyed from the negative film supply section to the exposure section is a short piece of negative film divided from a long piece of negative film by cutting it in a connecting member.
  • the long piece of negative film has been formed by connecting a plurality of negative films with connecting members.
  • a negative film roll which has been wound up in a long piece of negative film, composed of a plurality of negative films (about 100 negative films), is mounted.
  • This long piece is connected together by connecting members for developing efficiently.
  • the image frames are checked by a picture detecting sensor before the short pieces of negative film are produced by cutting the long piece of negative film in its connecting member areas.
  • the positioning marks can also be used for cutting the connecting members, if necessary.
  • said exposure section positions the image frame at the appropriate position based on the image frame when the image frame is detected by said picture detecting sensor to be proper for positioning or the visual positioning mark formed by said mark forming means when the image frame is detected by said picture detecting sensor to be improper for positioning.
  • the instruction from the operator is made through a monitor for switching the image frame to the operator and an operation panel with which the operator inputs his instruction.
  • the photographic processing further comprises the step of:
